My watch was 3 minutes slow at 5 pm on Tuesday and it was 5 minutes fast at 11 pm on Wednesday. When did it give correct time?
-
- Wednesday 4 : 15 am
- Wednesday 7 : 30 am
- Tuesday 3 : 45 pm
- None of these
Correct Option: A
We know that ,
Time from 5 pm Tuesday to 11 pm Wednesday = 30 hours
Clock gains 8 minutes in 30 hours
∴ It gains 3 minutes in | 30 | x 3 hours | = 11 hours 15 minutes. |
8 |
∴ Correct time is 11 hours 15 minutes after 5 pm. = 4 : 15 am on Wednesday.
Thus , required correct time is 4 : 15 am on Wednesday.
